K-Quants in Falcon 7b models

New Llama.cpp releases now allow for K-quantization of models that were previously incompatible with K-quants. This is achieved by employing a fallback solution for model layers that cannot be accurately quantized with K-quants.

For Falcon 7B models, although only a quarter of the layers can be quantized with true K-quants, this approach still benefits from utilizing various legacy quantization types, such as Q4_0, Q4_1, Q5_0, and Q5_1. As a result, it offers better quality at the same file size or smaller file sizes with comparable performance.

So this solution ensures improved performance and efficiency over legacy Q4_0, Q4_1, Q5_0 and Q5_1 Quantizations.

Important Update for Falcon Models in llama.cpp Versions After October 18, 2023

As previously noted on the Llama.cpp GitHub repository, all new Llama.cpp releases after October 18, 2023, required re-quantization due to the implementation of the new BPE tokenizer.

Update: The re-quantization process for Falcon Models is now complete, and the latest quantized models are available for download. To ensure continued compatibility with recent llama.cpp software, You need to update your Falcon models.

Key Points:

This change primarily affects Falcon and Starcoder models, with other models remaining unaffected. If you haven't already, please update your Falcon models for seamless compatibility with the latest llama.cpp versions.

Brief

I have a problem with the OpenAssistant falcon sft models

which currently prevents me from re-quantizing these models. It is not clear to me at the moment if this problem can be solved.

About GGUF format

gguf is the current file format used by the ggml library. A growing list of Software is using it and can therefore use this model. The core project making use of the ggml library is the llama.cpp project by Georgi Gerganov

Quantization variants

There is a bunch of quantized files available to cater to your specific needs. Here's how to choose the best option for you:

Legacy quants

Q4_0, Q4_1, Q5_0, Q5_1 and Q8 are legacy quantization types. Nevertheless, they are fully supported, as there are several circumstances that cause certain model not to be compatible with the modern K-quants.

Note:

Now there's a new option to use K-quants even for previously 'incompatible' models, although this involves some fallback solution that makes them not real K-quants. More details can be found in affected model descriptions. (This mainly refers to Falcon 7b and Starcoder models)

K-quants

K-quants are designed with the idea that different levels of quantization in specific parts of the model can optimize performance, file size, and memory load. So, if possible, use K-quants. With a Q6_K, you'll likely find it challenging to discern a quality difference from the original model - ask your model two times the same question and you may encounter bigger quality differences.

Original Model Card:

Open-Assistant Falcon 40B SFT OASST-TOP1 Model

This model is a fine-tuning of TII's Falcon 40B LLM. It was trained with top-1 (high-quality) demonstrations of the OASST data set (exported on May 6, 2023) with an effective batch size of 144 for ~7.5 epochs with LIMA style dropout (p=0.3) and a context-length of 2048 tokens.

Model Details

Prompting

Two special tokens are used to mark the beginning of user and assistant turns: <|prompter|> and <|assistant|>. Each turn ends with a <|endoftext|> token.

Input prompt example:

<|prompter|>What is a meme, and what's the history behind this word?<|endoftext|><|assistant|>

The input ends with the <|assistant|> token to signal that the model should start generating the assistant reply.

Please consider to support my work

Coming Soon: I'm in the process of launching a sponsorship/crowdfunding campaign for my work. I'm evaluating Kickstarter, Patreon, or the new GitHub Sponsors platform, and I am hoping for some support and contribution to the continued availability of these kind of models. Your support will enable me to provide even more valuable resources and maintain the models you rely on. Your patience and ongoing support are greatly appreciated as I work to make this page an even more valuable resource for the community.
